PIC: Rajkummar Rao Partially Shaves His Head To Play Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose

Since the past few weeks Rajkummar Rao has been sporting a hat. It was obvious that he has been hiding his look for his upcoming web series on the life of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, which is being directed by the man surrounded in controversies- Hansal Mehta.

Sadly, Rao couldn't hide the look for long, as someone from the sets of the movie has leaked the look already. Check it out:


Well, Rajkummar has shaved the crown area of his head for the role. From the look, it seems that he has managed to get the front bald patch perfectly like Netaji. Full marks to him on that!

When we met the actor yesterday for an interview, he was hesitant to remove his hat. Talking about the look he had said, "We tried prosthetics, but that wasn't working for the look. Playing Netaji was a huge responsibility, and we didn't want to go wrong in any aspect. It was an impromptu decision to shave the crown part. It isn't a big deal. I did what had to be done."

Talking about prosthetics, Rajkummar had to go through an intensive 6-hour long makeup procedure for Raabta, where he plays a 324-year-old man. Even though the scene is hardly for a few minutes in the movie, Rao went through all the pain to make sure there was no compromise on the look.

Rajkummar is currently busy with the promotions of his upcoming film Behen Hogi Teri. He is literally swamped with movies this year. He has Shimla Mirch, Newton, Omerta, Bareilly Ki Barfi, 5 Weddings, Ittefaq, Love Sonia and Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana- all hitting theatres this year.
